Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3565)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

snmplib/mib.c in net-snmp 5.7.0 and earlier, when the -OQ option is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (snmptrapd crash) via a crafted SNMP trap message, which triggers a conversion to the variable type designated in the MIB file, as demonstrated by a NULL type in an ifMtu trap message.
